Apple Garlic Pork chops

Not much of a funny story with this one. Just have to sit Bob at one end of the table and Betty at the other end when serving this meal. For three people, you would think three chops would be enough, well I can tell you for sure....it ain't around here! This mixture makes enough for 7-8 chops.

Bake Pork Chops as you normally would leaving the spices off! About half way through..add this topping and bake for they last 15 or 20 minutes.

3 Medium Granny Smith Apples
3 Tbsps of butter
4 large cloves of garlic
(coarsely chopped)
1/2 cup of rolled oats (quick oats)
3/4 cups of packed brown sugar
2 tbsp. lemon juice
6 tbsp. butter melted

Thinly slice half of the apples, coarsely chop the remaining apples. In a large skillet melt the 3 tbsps of butter. Add all the apples, garlic and oats. Cook over medium heat for 5 to 8 minutes or until apples start to soften, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat stir in brown sugar and lemon juice.

Prepare pork chops as you normally would in a large baking pan, add remaining butter to the top of the chops. DO NOT SEASON Bake you normal time at 350 degrees. Half way through cooking, add apple mixture to the tops of the pork chops and finish baking. Serves about 4-6 people or 2 of my little piggies. Really good with wild rice and asparagus as side dishes.
